I don’t condone pirating videos, music, pictures or anything else. I think you should have a look at this and form your own opinion. Just possibly the videos should be sent to the soldiers by the license holders. Just a thought!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Meet Hyman Strachman, probably the nation’s most patriotic movie pirate.
For the past eight years the 92-year-old widowed World War II veteran has sent hundreds of thousands of illegal copies of movies free to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. He burned the DVDs at his apartment on Long Island, knowing full well he was breaking the law, he told The New York Times. He is considered a hero in the eyes of the troops.” Huffington Post.
